    Using twinax cable for tv

    I found a 500ft roll of twinax cable at the mill today that they were just gonna throw away. So, I took it. If you don't know, twinax is like coax cable, but it's got 2 braded wires in the middle. http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/twinax.asp
    We used to use it for networking stuff. Anwyay, I'm gonna try to use it for my tv, to run satellite outside to my sugarhouse. I messed around with it a little bit and it will work, but I need to get a wierd connector if I want it to work well. I need something like the stuff on the top row here ( http://www.hartlana.co.uk/coax/produhftwinax.htm ). I'm not really sure where to order it from that site. I'm gonna try to see if I can get it at radio shack or something.

    Anyone ever used this stuff for tv? It's more heavy duty then regular coax. Is it any good?
